Pattern Theory

Broad in its mathematical coverage, Pattern Theory spans algebra and statistics, as well as local topological and global entropic properties. It differs from other approaches to artificial intelligence in that it does not begin by prescribing algorithms and machinery to recognize and classify patterns; rather, it prescribes a vocabulary to articulate and recast the pattern concepts in precise language. Pattern theory, formulated by Ulf Grenander, is a mathematical formalism to describe knowledge of the world as patterns.
